Education
Bishops Cleeve has two primary schools; Grangefield is the relatively newest primary school built after the Western extension of Bishops Cleeve, built on land owned by the Zurich and Capita who are situated in the tallest and biggest commercial building in Bishops Cleeve behind the school.
The other primary school (Bishops Cleeve Primary Academy School) is at the heart of Bishops Cleeve situated near town/village centre. It is the oldest and biggest primary school and well known for performing considerably well. The school recently became an academy school and hosts main events during the school year.
Cleeve secondary school has recently been developing dramatically after millions of pounds of school funding. With the money they modernized old parts of the school with brand new Science, IT, Modern Languages and Learning skills departments. The school has recently been facing criticism after deciding to change the school logo. The original logo was a Bishops hat which is the logo for the football team, primary school, many shops and even the logo of Bishops Cleeve itself.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“... education fails in so far as it does not stir in students a sharp awareness of their obligations to society and furnish at least a few guideposts pointing toward the implementation of these obligations.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
